he came to that decision for a variety of reasons, because of the overthrow of saddam hussein by u.s.-led coalition. the subsequent capture of saddam hussein and the ship, with the uranium rich components manufactured by the a 2 con proliferation network, that told him that we knew what he was up to and at that point he made the clear decision that he was going to give up nuclear weapons. we have seen not only nothing like that from north korea, as i say, we have seen the opposite and i think it's important to understand that the current north korea moratorium on testing of nuclear weapons and testing of icbm intercontinental range ballistic missiles, tells us nothing about either north korea's intention or its strategy as it's playing out. one reason, one very good, very troubling reason there's no more testing of nuclear weapons for the moment or of long range missiles is that north korea in its judgment finished testing and can produce nuclear warheads and long range ballistics missiles. that's not an encouraging sign, that's a sign to be worried about. moreover, the testing of sho

hussein was engaged in dealing with a nuclear program. he got them in and before you know we had shock and awe. the moment it started i came out against the war at that moment. >> dana: david axelrod the former political adviser to president obama and the white house treated this, it's -- tweeted this, it's good to have a rep for harmless gaffs, it's one thing if you serially distort your own record. joe biden is in danger of create more damaging meme. >> he has an article charging it's not just small gaffs but senility and that's what the article said he was retweeting, david axelrod. that what you played has been refuted definitively by what he said on the floor of the senate and what he said to reporters months after that moment of meeting with president bush. i wasn't in that room and neither were you and there were not a lot of people making their stand at that moment. >> dana: what's interesting about it too is if you think back to the '04 campaign and george w. bush wants to be re-elect and john kerry's out there and at a town hall

hussein and there was a counterbalance and having saddam hussein there that that vacuum allowed isis to grow and then vacuum, and so really i think the president has been very, very consistent. >> neil: you mentioned isis, senator . isis was on the run, isis was defeated. foreign policy advisors urged him to cool it on that kind of talk because it emboldened the enemy. sure enough, isis popped up in other locales. does he have to be careful with his wording? >> i would say that the president is very and very consistent believing in a more realistic foreign policy and less of a neoconservative foreign policy. some of the people he's picked haven't been people who've agreed with the president but i can go back to reagan's administration where all of us conservatives loved ronald reagan and then all of a sudden he was appointing sometimes people who we didn't think frankly were conservative or fulfilling reagan's vision. i think this is true in every administration, but my advice and my hope is that the president will pick somebody who actually listens to what he says and wants to furth

saddam hussein has weapons of mass destruction. that's why we had a war. how could the details be irrelevant? >> what biden is trying to argue is he doesn't believe that he was intentionally misleading anyone with the details of the war story. his argument is that though he may mangle some of the details, that's not going to affect the way or his ability to serve as president. what his campaign right now is banking on is the fact that so far these mistakes or so-called gaffes haven't really stuck with voters and they think that's because people know who joe biden is and they know his long history, but i think we're going to see over the course of time how exactly this will play out and whether voters are going to be impacted by it. >> it's a key point you make because we live in the age of trump. many of us in our business need to realize many of theapply. at least they didn't in 2016. joe biden is explaining back in the day as a united states senator he voted in favor of authorizing military force in iraq. this is now how he explains it. >> i got a commit

or iraq under saddam hussein or his below or the iranians they quit them with the enemies of the west so back in the days of the cold war that they say these people were communists and they were pro soviet then the became that these people were terrorists and they're allied to okada so this is a constant seam in the israeli perception of itself in the region and the relationship of the region to the western powers this strategy has worked for the israelis so far the problem with that is that it has brought them to the situation they're out today where they were. in centrally engaged in military action to a limited extent with 4 different people on one day and all of these adversaries hezbollah. and some of the groups in syria and iraq on the whole it is later perhaps they're all developing much more sophisticated military capabilities which we saw early this morning one. hezbollah could fire on to tank rockets military targets in northern israel you would think those military targets would be pretty well protected but that the hezbollah rockets reached them we may see it has a film fr

saddam hussein with saddam hussein made many people the fugitives and also in afghanistan many people became refugees or we have been hosting 3000000 afghan refugees over the last 40 years in the wrong for 40 years we have been witnessing 3000000 different refugees afghans if you 2 are our guests and we know what becoming it a few g. is. all refugees would like to return to their own homes and would like to. farm on their own lands on farms and would like to. plan their own families. who we should secure the whole office area so that the people of syria can do 10 whole. and take part and reconstruction and we should also help with the construction of syria. the humanitarian. aspect as far as that is concerned we should also we all should help the syrian people are suffering so much once again would like to. present are they gone as the government for hosting these meetings and i'm very happy to see that the start of process is continuing. the constitution committee has become a completed now and we hope that this political development. amendment to the graph the constitution the for m

the reason i opened this segment talking about saddam hussein. as you know, in covering the world as you do, there are countries in the world, you know, where the saddam husseins with ude and kusai also profiting off everything he did. everyone paid saddam hussein. in saudi arabia, the royal family gets paid. everything happens to benefit the dictator. donald trump admires these kinds of countries. north korea. you know, russia. the fact that this country is now steering in that direction, can we steer our way back if the party in power is allowing it? >> the party in power is allowing it? the president is doing it. the media is complicit in parts by not giving it the coverage it should get. open corruption. trump's campaign manager just this weekend talked about his family morphing into a dynasty. yes, trump admirers, hereditary monarchs who line their pockets. it's becoming a cleptocracy. jimmy carter put his peanut farm in a blind trust and left the office in debt. this is naked corruption. nancy pelosi says this smrgs administration is a cess
